I realize this is meant more for garden equipment. However, I need something that is water-tight, so that I can store binders, paper, etc. in it. Is this, or could it be better sealed somehow to use it for that? Any other suggestions?

The only thing I can suggest is to use duct tape around any openings especially the top. It may not look pretty, but it should seal it for you. Since it is meant to be outdoors it should not leak if put together properly.

I think it would be waterproof enough, but I'm not sure I would use it as a tool box. I would consider using it as a box to store things like jumper cables and emergency supplies, but when i had a tool box in my truck, it got rough service of throwing and pulling tools in and out of it daily - I don't think it would last long under those conditions.

It is air tight but not water tight. The down fall that I had with this product was that it ripped the first time I used it.

I wouldn't say it is water tight, but mine doesn't seem to accumulate water in it. However, keep it in a sheltered area. I had mine on the deck of my pool, and when strong gusts of wind blew, it would blow the top off (ripped it off the rather flimsy "hinges", if you can call them that--more like plastic ties). I got tired of chasing the lid all over the yard, so finally moved it against a semi-protected wall.

I use it indoors. I don't believe it would be watertight; there is no seal around the opening.

It's not watertight, so use a bag. If the bag leaks it will be on the floor. I don't care as it's slim, beautiful, and fits my needs.

The top is sealed and waterproof... But if you wanted to use it for a shower, I'd just cut a hole in it and re-sew so it doesn't tear.. Huum Sounds like you're after privacy not a place to stay dry. Or I suppose you could run some extra hose under it.... zip tie the hose to the interior support pole and yer done! Lots of options.. : )

I think that is used to hold certain items (like a watch that you don't want to get wet). You could try using a search engine to get more info or maybe try emailing the manufacturer.

This item is not watertight, but will keep the rain out. I use several at my own home all the time, they are especially good for emergency kits, extremely sturdy. - The Organizing Place

It seems pretty tight and secure. Although I would put it inside a garbage plastic bag if I decided to store it outdoors.

The bags are a heavy unlined canvas and have a fold at the top with velcro that keeps it tight. If you filled them with water it would leak through the bag and the top. I'm assuming your wondering about water so you don't have to carry the 40lb bags of sand around. I'm thinking if you could find some kind of water/liquid bladder that you could slide into the bags then then fill with water. You may want to check into a sporting goods store, but that option may be quite expensive especially since you would need 4 of them.

You could also buy a pack of plastic storage boxes to store your papers in fopr added protection. The are designed to stack solidly, & are relatively inexpensive if you buy at a big box store like Costco. I use them extensively in Mexico to protect my books from humidity.

very good question but I am not sure...it is not 100% sealed & i only use it to carry my ammo so i know water is not getting in.

it's pretty heavy duty and since it has no lid, I'm not sure how I / you would like it not being able to be sealed after the garbage is in it before you empty it. I actually think something with a lid would do better. Plus, since it's so narrow, a lot of things may not fit in it - kinda depends on how you sort your trash. If you did use it as a kitchen can, you'd want to put some type of plastic trash bag in it as a liner.

Not 100% sure about being water tight. Our local pet store did say it can be used for frogs , turtles, and lizards that need a moist environment.

It's a case for storage but shouldn't be sealed. It just fits together so I turned it upside down to get out. Hope this helps.

I would think they would work just fine for storing binders,, I purchased ten of them for storing stuff in my garage,, two of them is full of some the old green binders that I used at training material.. plus the price was right and they are easy to carry up to the second level..
